Xia Yuhan suddenly felt very frustrated: "Old Mischief Maker, then you can go find someone from the Reform Theater to change things up!"
The old man scratched the back of his head awkwardly: "Hehe, it's settled then! But you must take me along! Let's go!"
With that, he floated away like a gust of wind.
...
The next day, when the bright sunlight shone upon the land, Xia Yuhan had already sneaked out with the help of Fuyazi.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to pull such a stunt, dressing as a man. That's really cool! Way cooler than I was in my youth. But usually, actions like this happen at night; what are you doing out in broad daylight?"
"You want to know?"
"Yes, I want to know!"
"Alright, then lean in closer."
But when the old man leaned in, Xia Yuhan only said a few infuriating words: "Not telling you!"
This made the old man thump his chest in frustration: "Are you teasing me? Playing with me? Or just messing with me?"
Xia Yuhan rolled her eyes at him: "Old Mischief Maker, stop pretending to be clueless. You’ve wasted half your life without understanding such simple logic."
This made the old man even more embarrassed: "Hehe, Yu Han, about that Disciple... I really don’t know. I usually do my work at night!"
At this moment, Xia Yuhan suddenly became very cautious: "Old Mischief Maker, we're not going to Sun Mansion; let's change direction and head to Xia Yang Village. It seems we might have someone tailing us."
The old man nonchalantly rubbed his nose: "Being followed is normal; who told you to insist on walking? But at this point, anyone who can track us down is quite an impressive character!"
The old man stroked his beard again and said, "Got it, watch me!"
Dragging Xia Yuhan, they twisted and turned until they entered a "flower" shop. When they came out, both of them had changed into a new outfit. They then hid inside a restaurant across from the "flower" shop, secretly observing every move of the person across the street through the window.
Xia Yuhan looked at Old Mischief Maker and couldn't help but sigh, "You really can't judge a book by its cover. Don't be fooled by how crazy Old Mischief Maker usually is; when it matters, he's smarter than anyone!"
The old man was not modest at all: "Of course, just look at who it is!"
Just as they were joking around, the old man's scattered gaze suddenly sharpened: "Yuhan Tuer, look quickly! There's someone looking around; isn't that Southern Kingdom Prince Nangong Mo?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhan hurriedly leaned closer to the window: "Indeed! Could he be tracking us? But what's his purpose?"
"Disciple, you're really hopeless! Wasn't there a wolf slaughterer recently? Your deeds have spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom! If I were a prince of the Southern Kingdom, I would definitely try to win you over! After all, there are too many secrets about you!"
"Ah... I never expected that last time I had to use a weapon that I shouldn't have used for self-preservation. If it weren't for that weapon, I might not have made it this far. But now that I've survived, almost all forces are focusing their attention on me. It's as if having that treasure could turn the situation around at a critical moment!"
The old man seriously stroked his beard: "Isn't that how it is? But don't worry; this kind of life will end soon! That stinky Disciple has been running around everywhere for this matter lately!"
Xia Yuhan was quite surprised to hear this: "What? Isn't he preparing to send a birthday gift to the emperor?"
"This... I don't know! But since you're feeling better now, are you sure you want to go to Xia Yang Village?"
"I must go this time!"
"Why?"
"For revenge!"
The old man blinked in frustration: "How can you seek revenge by going there? Ever since you went to Xia Yang Village, it's been thriving; the crops are growing really well!"
"We'll first find an old carriage, and then we'll go!"
"Alright! I'm more than happy to!"
However, after getting on the carriage, both of them sat outside, with no one inside the cabin. Xia Yuhan smeared a lot of black charcoal on her face to conceal her original appearance.
"You little Disciple, are you playing us? If this Qing'er can hold her ground, how can we manage if we have to hold multiple positions?"
"Yu Han can see that Miss Qing'er is no ordinary person; she understands the gravity of the situation and will definitely guard that door! Because as long as that door is secured, I can relieve a lot of pressure here, and those assassins will remain focused on Xia Manor, rarely suspecting that I would leave the estate!"
"Oh ho, I didn't expect that! Yuhan Tuer is quite remarkable! But why is it that going to Xia Yang Village allows for revenge? As far as I know, you don't have any enemies in Xia Yang Village!"
Xia Yuhan looked at the trees gradually fading away by the roadside and the sparse crowd on the road: "Old Mischief Maker, haven't you noticed that Xia Yang Village is a good place? If war breaks out, that area has high terrain and is surrounded by hills; if fortified, it would be easy to defend and hard to attack!"
Although the old man vaguely understood, he was exceptionally curious: "But how did you suddenly think of this? After all, there won't be any internal strife in this situation!"
"Prince Yile is now a thorn in Canglong Hui's side; it's only a matter of time before they strike against Prince Yile! If the prince can rally some military strength, wouldn't he have the ability to resist?"
"This should happen soon! That bastard from Canglong Hui somehow got his hands on wild wolves. Just think about it—if these wild wolves are unleashed during a major battle, the consequences..."
"Unfortunately, Azure Dragon Kingdom is facing external threats and internal troubles. Canglong Hui must be thinking that if he can take this opportunity to showcase Azure Dragon Kingdom's might, when the emperor rewards him, he certainly wouldn't want to miss such a great opportunity. That's why he used the wild wolves early. It's just too bad that most of those wild wolves he worked so hard to gather have already been killed by me!"
As the old man drove the carriage, he pondered other matters: "In this case, Xia Yang Village is indeed a good place. Why didn't I think of that?"
"Not only that, but at the foot of Xia Yang Village lies a river running through the mountains. If we are pushed into a corner, we can retreat into the deep mountains and maneuver with the enemy..."
In short, Xia Yuhan elaborated extensively while the old man listened with admiration: "Not bad! Truly not bad! Preparing ahead of time increases our chances of winning. No wonder Yuhan Tuer has repeatedly escaped danger; with such a mind, you won't find another person like you in all of Azure Dragon Kingdom! That stinky Disciple Cang Yile is fortunate to encounter you!"
Xia Yuhan's eyes gradually dimmed: "It's just that for now; specifics are still being planned. We need to stockpile rice and grain and save gold so that we won't scatter our talents. This trip is specifically to oversee the construction of secret chambers; they can't understand the blueprints I've drawn up, so I have to go personally."
The old man suddenly stopped the cart at that moment: "Then if that's the case, we can't go like this!"
"Why?"
"Because there's a tail following us!"
Xia Yuhan instantly became alert, entering a state of high vigilance: "We absolutely cannot abandon this cart, but if we don't abandon it, it's hard to shake them off!"
"No need to shake them off! The old man will take care of them for you! From the looks of it, there are at least forty or fifty people coming, and each one is on horseback! Of course, this doesn't include those running behind the Horse!"
"Why are there so many people? Didn't we shake off their pursuit?"
"That's right, but there are more than just one or two families wanting to know your secret!"
As soon as the old man's words fell, dozens of arrows flew from behind them. In no time, the cart they were riding in was being pursued by those who followed closely behind!
"Damn it, how is it this group of bastards again! Don't let me know who sent you, Fuyazi! Otherwise, I will definitely cut them down!"
"Old Mischief Maker's heart!" Xia Yuhan saw the old man hand her the reins while he charged towards the group of black-clad horsemen and archers.
This Old Mischief Maker was too reckless!
Xia Yuhan couldn't help but feel anxious for the old man. She had just recovered, and some parts of her body that had been severely bitten by wolves hadn't even started to heal. If she encountered assassins in this situation, she would only be captured!
If there was anyone to blame, it could only be her eagerness!
However, what happened next was beyond Xia Yuhan's expectations.
That Old Mischief Maker miraculously dodged the fierce arrows flying towards him and charged straight at the group of black-clad men!
Even when they got closer, Old Mischief Maker drew the long sword hidden at his waist. His figure was like a shadow, making it impossible to see his movements. Xia Yuhan stopped the carriage and couldn't help but marvel silently!
This martial arts skill is indeed impressive!
Before Xia Yuhan could finish her admiration, the men in black suddenly stopped their actions. In the blink of an eye, everyone fell to the ground, leaving only Old Mischief Maker standing alone on the swiftly galloping horse.
The series of movements flowed seamlessly, effortlessly killing this group of people in an instant, without even startling the Horse!
The old man seized two of the fast horses and headed straight for Xia Yuhan: "Yuhan Tuer, hold on, we’re riding!"
"Okay!" Xia Yuhan grabbed the old man's outstretched hand without any hesitation, and then she was lightly placed onto another horse.
The rickety carriage they had been riding was also sent into a frenzy by a couple of stones thrown by the old man, heading off in another direction!
"Hehe, Yuhan Tuer, the old man treats us well! Up ahead is a fork in the road; now they will have a hard time finding us! Let’s go! The people behind can no longer catch up!"
